    There's a few ways you probably could do it:

    =[due date]@row - today()

    That will give you how many days are left until the due date hits.

    As for the average number of employees for the date, would something like this work?

    =count(employees) / (days until due date)

    Without seeing your sheet, that's probably a very generic way to get to the answers your looking for. If you do have a screenshot of your sheet, that might help get some more specifics. Hope it helps!
